What vitamins are you taking?



Recommended Posts

I need some advice on bariatric Vitamins. I am currently taking the Bariatric Advantage Mixed berry flvor and I HATE THEM! They are so yucky and almost seem to fizz in my mouth...GROSS! :blink: I will take them until they are gone, but I want something different. Any suggestions? Also, what are you taking on top of your bariatric vitamins? B12? Biotin? What is your Vitamin regimen?

I take 1 Centrum Multi Vitamin/Mineral (chewable) and 2 viactive calcium chews a day. Just had my blood work done and ALL of my levels were perfect.

I drink my Vitamins in the form of what's called EcoDrink (I buy it at Costco). It's 100% of everything I need in a quick easy drink. Doesn't taste all that bad either. And all my blood work is awesome. :D

I take one Flintstones chewable and 2 calcium chews. Maybe I am strange but I like the Flintstones Vitamins. :)

My blood work indicated I am low on B1 so I need to find another supplement and add that as well.

My surgery center recommended a Multivitamin (any over the counter vitimin; the ones at Walgreens are as small as an asprin) and a B complex Vitamin (but I have to cut that one in half).

I really like my Vitamins and calcium! I use Reviva liquid multivitamin (tastes like a liquid flintstones vitamin), and Reviva liquid Calcium with vit. D. The multivitamin also contains a fruit/veg complex and as much Fiber as an apple. I also take GNC omega-3 chews. I cannot recall if I get my vitamins and calcium at costco or BJs, but it's one or the other...

I take:

  • One-a-Day gummies (2 per serving) sours.
  • Citracel petites for Calcium and some D
  • An extra D capsule (because I'm allergic to the sun) - I also have sublinguals if I'm feeling too tight to take a capsule
  • Biotin sublingual
  • B12 sublingual
  • CoQ10 sublingual
  • Omega 3 and 6
  • Iron every 3-4 days
  • I'll start taking my Magnesium and zinc when I feel comfortable with the pill size.
  • Acidophilus (the good stuff in yogurt) because pill form is used better by the body than from yogurt (and I don't eat yogurt)

One of my specialist Drs (unrelated to WLS) suggested I stop extra C (causes kidney stones) and E (increases the probability to have a stroke) and as a vegetarian it would be unlikely I'd ever run low on either of those.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
